From experience, I've learned to not drive my Westy into cities where I plan
to stay in hotels which have only underground or roofed parking areas.  One
notorious one is located and spans I-90 just east of Boston.  It has a
sharp, down-sloping and curved entrance and one can become easily and
"scrapingly trapped" when trying to enter.  The hotel has only limited
uncovered parking available.
